Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a tattoo printing method, an ink fixing agent composition for tattoo printing, an ink composition for tattoo printing, a color fixing agent composition for tattoo printing and a tattoo printing kit containing the same. Background Art

[0002] As part of self-expression, many people are interested in clothes, hair, accessories, etc., and express their personality by adding designs to their skin. Generally speaking, as a method of drawing an image on the skin, there are face painting, makeup, watermark stickers, sticky notes, tattoo stencils, painting, natural dyeing, henna hand-painting, tattoos, etc. Conventional tattoos, henna hand-painting, or body painting require people with professional skills to perform the operation, so the accessibility is poor, and stickers, tattoo stencils, etc. have the problem that only limited designs can be used. Therefore, skin printers that can easily output the image desired by the user to the skin have attracted much attention.

[0003] On the other hand, the inkjet recording method is a method of transmitting a digital data file or image as an electrical signal, and ejecting fine ink droplets of various colors onto paper through a nozzle and printing on the medium. Hundreds or even thousands of fine ink ejection ports (nozzles) are arranged on the nozzle, and 1 to 10 picoliters (pl) of fine ink droplets are sprayed at each configured position. The inkjet recording method includes an electrostatic attraction method that uses electrostatic attraction to eject ink droplets, a pressure transfer method that uses a piezoelectric element to give mechanical vibration or displacement to the ink, and a thermal transfer method that generates bubbles by heating the ink and uses the pressure at that time to discharge the ink.

[0004] In order to print ink directly on the skin, harmless water-based ink can be mainly used, which contains 60-90% water. When the water-based ink is printed on the medium, it evaporates, penetrates, diffuses and dries at the same time when it hits. That is, the pigment of the ink remains on the medium, and the water penetrates into the medium or evaporates and dries. At this time, how the water-based ink dries and whether the pigment is fixed at the drop point will have a major impact on the printing quality.

[0005] Generally speaking, the pigment in water-based ink does not stay on the surface of the medium, but penetrates and fixes into the inside for printing. Therefore, if the water content of the pigment is slow to penetrate into the printing medium, the ink may smudge on the surface of the medium and cause ink color pollution. In order to achieve ideal printing quality, the colorant (dyes or pigments) in the water-based ink must be able to remain on the surface in a circular form in large quantities to express bright colors, and the water content must be able to dry quickly to prevent the water-based ink from moving toward the plane.

[0006] On office paper or special paper for inkjet, vertical adsorption of water-based ink occurs quickly, but the skin is smooth and uneven in surface, which has poor interaction with water-based ink. Therefore, water-based ink does not penetrate smoothly on the skin, and it takes more time for water-based ink to penetrate into the skin than on ordinary paper. In addition, on the skin, the main solvents of water-based ink, glycol and diol, take a long time to dry and have poor spreading characteristics.

[0007] Therefore, there is an increasing demand for developing inks, fixatives (primers) or color fixatives (top coats) that accelerate the skin adsorption and drying speed of aqueous inks by treating the skin before or after printing, thereby enabling printing without ink smudging and achieving excellent printing quality.

[0111] Experimental Example 1: Confirmation of the degree of occurrence of the white turbidity phenomenon based on the form of the raw materials of the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition Degree and smudge relief effect

[0112] Since the powder cosmetic composition is used for makeup (makeup effect, concealing blemishes), as the powder cosmetic composition, powders with a large whitening effect (skin whitening phenomenon) are mainly used. However, when using a tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition, if whitening occurs, the printed image may become blurred due to whitening, and the printing quality may be reduced. Therefore, it is preferred that the ink fixing agent composition does not cause whitening.

[0113] Each AI powder material was applied to the underarm wrist using a Rubycell puff, and the white turbidity was evaluated with the naked eye (H = high, M = medium, L = low).

[0114] By measuring the haze and linear transmittance, the degree of white turbidity is relatively compared (haze: the higher the haze, the white turbidity and opacity; linear transmittance (parallel transmittance): the higher the parallel transmittance, the white turbidity and transparency).

[0115] Haze is a phenomenon in which when light passes through a transparent material, in addition to being reflected or absorbed according to the type of material, the light diffuses according to the inherent properties of the material and exhibits an opaque, blurred appearance. The percentage of light diffusion incident on a transparent object is called haze.

[0116] The linear transmittance can be the percentage of light transmitted in the same direction as the incident direction relative to the light incident on the transparent material. For example, among the light incident in a direction parallel to the normal direction of the transparent material, the percentage of light transmitted in a direction parallel to the normal direction can be defined as the above transmittance.

[0117] The raw materials are applied to the skin respectively, and the raw material application site is printed using a skin printing device. As the ink used for printing, a tattoo printing ink containing 25% by weight of a moisturizer, a surfactant containing one or more of polyglycerol-4 caprate and PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, and a defoaming agent containing one or more of glyceryl polyether-26, hydrogenated ethylhexyl olive oil, and hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiable matter is used. At this time, the blooming mitigation effect of the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition is evaluated by observing the blooming generated at the printing interface.

[0118] As shown in Table 1 below, the degree of occurrence of white turbidity and the effect of alleviating blurring were confirmed according to the form of the raw materials.

[0119] Evaluation method for smudging relief: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, there is no ink smudging phenomenon, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging to fine lines but the boundaries are clear, △: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging causes blurred boundaries, -: No effect.

[0120] [Table 1]

[0121]

[0122] The actual skin surface observation is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the photos.

[0123] If the raw materials (raw materials A to I) used in the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition of the present invention are first applied to the skin and the ink is printed, it can be confirmed that the ink is not easily smudged along the skin wrinkles, and the smudge phenomenon of the ink is significantly suppressed, compared with when the ink is printed without applying the fixing agent composition (uncoated).

[0124] In particular, when using plate-shaped raw materials (raw materials A to E), compared with the case of using spherical raw materials (raw materials F to I), a lot of white turbidity occurs, so there is a disadvantage that the coating portion appears prominent, and it can be confirmed that the plate-shaped raw materials have a relatively high haze value and a low linear transmittance compared with the spherical raw materials. In addition, it can be seen from the quality of the printed image that the spherical raw materials are excellent in the effect of alleviating the blooming effect.

[0125] Experimental Example 2: Confirmation of the effect of reducing smearing according to the size of the raw material of the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition The particle size, oil absorption and water absorption of the spherical raw materials were measured and compared with each other.

[0126] The raw materials F to L were applied to the wrist area under the arm using a Rubycell powder puff, and ink was printed on the raw material application area using a skin printing device. The ink used for printing was the same ink as that used in Experimental Example 1. The blurring reduction effect was evaluated by observing the degree of blurring generated at the printing interface.

[0127] Evaluation method for smudging relief: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, there is no ink smudging phenomenon, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging to fine lines but the boundaries are clear, △: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging causes blurred boundaries, -: No effect.

[0128] As shown in Table 2 below, the blur reduction effect was confirmed according to the size of the raw material.

[0129] [Table 2]

[0130]

[0131] When the particle size of the raw material exceeds 12 μm, the effect of alleviating smearing is poor, and when the particle size of the raw material is 5 to 9 μm, the effect of alleviating smearing is excellent. However, the effect of alleviating smearing according to the particle size has no significant difference when the particle size is within 5 to 9 μm.

[0132] It was further confirmed that when the particle size is within 5 to 9 μm, the greater the sum of the water absorption and the oil absorption, the better the blurring reduction effect. It was confirmed that the blurring reduction effect is best when both the water absorption and the oil absorption are large, and the blurring reduction effect is good when either the water absorption or the oil absorption is large. Therefore, the raw material preferably has high water absorption and oil absorption. Specifically, as a raw material for a tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition, the sum of the water absorption and the oil absorption is preferably 0.8 ml / g or more.

[0133] The actual skin surface observation is as follows Figure 3 As shown in the photos.

[0134] When comparing raw material F and raw material G having similar sizes, raw material G having high water absorption has a superior effect of alleviating blurring compared to raw material F having no water absorption due to hydrophobic coating on the powder surface of the raw material.

[0135] Similarly, when comparing raw materials G to I composed of silica, raw material G having a small size and excellent oil absorption and water absorption has an excellent blurring reduction effect.

[0136] Experimental Example 3: Confirmation of performance (smearing relief, use) according to the formulation ratio of the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition transparency)

[0137] The composition of the tattoo ink fixative composition prepared according to the present invention is shown in Table 3 below.

[0138] [Table 3]

[0140] The powder part of each embodiment and comparative example composition was placed in a 5L Henschel mixer equipped with an impeller, stirred at 2,000 rpm and 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes, and the oil binder part was sprayed at the same time. After the oil binder part was completely sprayed, it was mixed at 2,000 rpm for 3 minutes so that the oil binder part and the powder part could be mixed evenly, and then a pulverization process was performed to increase the dispersion of the oil binder part, and filtered in a 50 mesh net. After that, a 24-hour aging process was performed to remove the uneven pores in the mixture.

[0141] The blurring reduction effect of each embodiment and comparative example composition was printed with a skin printing device to observe the blurring degree generated at the printed interface. The same ink as that used in Experimental Example 1 was used as the ink used for printing. In addition, a blind test was conducted with 10 women aged 20-40 years old to evaluate the powder flying during application, the fit to the skin, the transparency, etc.

[0142] The blurring mitigation effect, usability and transparency of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were evaluated, and the results are shown in Figure 4 middle.

[0143] Evaluation method for smudging relief: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, there is no ink smudging phenomenon, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging to fine lines but the boundaries are clear, △: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging causes blurred boundaries, -: No effect.

[0144] Usability evaluation method: ◎: When applying, powder scattering is not seen with the naked eye, ○: When applying, powder scattering is confirmed with the naked eye, but it fits the skin well, △: When applying, powder scattering is confirmed with the naked eye, but it is difficult to fit the skin, -: When applying, powder scattering is confirmed with the naked eye, and it is difficult to use.

[0145] Transparency evaluation method: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, the original color of the skin is shown, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the skin is confirmed to have a light white feeling, △: When observed with the naked eye, the skin is confirmed to have a white feeling, -: When observed with the naked eye, the skin is confirmed to have a heterogeneous white feeling.

[0146] like Figure 4The results shown show that Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1, which use raw material G with excellent water and oil absorption and relatively small size at a content of more than 60%, show the best performance in smearing relief, and Comparative Example 1 with a small content of plate-like powder and Example 1 containing aluminum oxide show the best performance in transparency. Compared with Comparative Example 2, the higher the content of plate-like powder in the composition of Examples 2 to 4, the more the white turbidity of the composition increases and the lower the transparency, so the composition with excessive addition of plate-like powder is not suitable for use as a fixing agent. However, compared with Comparative Example 1, if plate-like powder is not added, the usability of the composition may be reduced in Examples 1 to 4. Therefore, the plate-like powder is preferably used in the composition at a certain content or less, so that the usability is improved without significantly affecting the smearing relief effect.

[0147] The composition of the tattoo ink fixing agent composition prepared according to the present invention is shown in Table 4 below.

[0150] The blurring mitigation effect, usability and transparency of the above-mentioned Example 1, Example 5 and Comparative Example 3 were evaluated, and the results are shown in Figure 5 As the ink used for printing, the same ink as that used in Experimental Example 1 was used.

[0151] Evaluation method for smudging relief: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, there is no ink smudging phenomenon, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging to fine lines but the boundaries are clear, △: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging causes blurred boundaries, -: No effect.

[0152] Usability evaluation method: ◎: When applying, powder scattering is not seen with the naked eye, ○: When applying, powder scattering is confirmed with the naked eye, but it fits the skin well, △: When applying, powder scattering is confirmed with the naked eye, but it is difficult to fit the skin, -: When applying, powder scattering is confirmed with the naked eye, and it is difficult to use.

[0154] like Figure 5 As shown, when a high content of Raw Material I is applied, some blooming occurs and a satisfactory blooming alleviation effect is not achieved.

[0155] When considering that the greater the water absorption and oil absorption in Table 2, the better the blurring reduction effect, it is preferred to use silica with a larger sum of oil absorption and water absorption, and the sum of oil absorption and water absorption of silica (raw material G) is 5.5 to 6.8 ml / g and the sum of oil absorption and water absorption of silica (raw material I) is 2.8 to 3.0 and Figure 5 According to the results, the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition of the present invention preferably includes spherical powders in an amount of 16% or more, 26% or more, 36% or more, or 46% or more relative to the total content of the spherical powders, and the sum of the oil absorption and the water absorption is 4 ml / g or more, preferably 5 ml / g or more.

[0156] The composition of the tattoo ink fixative composition prepared according to the present invention is shown in Table 5 below.

[0157] [Table 5]

[0159] The blurring mitigation effect, usability and transparency of Example 1, Example 6, Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5 were evaluated, and the results are shown in Figure 6 As the ink used for printing, the same ink as that used in Experimental Example 1 was used.

[0160] Evaluation method for smudging relief: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, there is no ink smudging phenomenon, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging to fine lines but the boundaries are clear, △: When observed with the naked eye, the ink smudging causes blurred boundaries, -: No effect.

[0162] Transparency evaluation method: ◎: When observed with the naked eye, the original color of the skin is shown, ○: When observed with the naked eye, the skin is confirmed to have a light white feeling, △: When observed with the naked eye, the skin is confirmed to have a white feeling, -: When observed with the naked eye, the skin is confirmed to have a heterogeneous white feeling.

[0163] Hexyl laurate is used as a binder to adjust the fit and usability of the composition. Figure 6 As shown, the binder is preferably 3 to 15 wt %, more preferably 5 to 10 wt %, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0164] Experimental Example 4: Confirmation of skin irritation of a solid-phase tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition compared with a liquid-phase composition sex

[0165] The liquid tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition must be dried on the skin to play the role of a fixing agent on the skin. At this time, in order to help the liquid tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition dry, ethanol and a film-forming agent can be added to the liquid ink fixing agent composition.

[0166] Experimental Example 4-1 : The drying speed and skin irritation of the compositions according to the ethanol content were evaluated by the following test methods.

[0167] 1) As shown in Table 6 below, the ethanol content was changed to prepare a liquid tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition containing 10% of a coating agent (coating agent: Methacryloyl Ethyl Betaine / Acrylates Copolymer).

[0168] [Table 6]

[0169] raw material Liquid phase 1-1 Liquid phase 1-2 Liquid phase 1-3 Liquid phase 1-4 Liquid phase 1-5 Purified water 80 60 40 20 0 Ethanol 10 30 50 70 90 Coating agent 10 10 10 10 10

[0170] 2) Under the conditions of 24.5° C. and 30% humidity, one drop of the liquid ink fixative composition was applied to the four corners of the skin area of ​​1×2 cm, and the drying time was measured.

[0171] 3) Evaluation of skin irritation after drying (skin tightness, stinging, redness, etc.).

[0172] Irritation evaluation method: -: no abnormality, +: mild stinging / itching / redness, ++: severe stinging / itching / redness, +++: severe stinging / itching / redness.

[0173] As shown in Table 7 below, as the ethanol content in the liquid tattoo printing ink fixative composition increases, the drying speed of the composition increases, but the skin irritation of the liquid tattoo printing ink fixative composition increases.

[0174] [Table 7]

[0175]

[0176] Experimental Example 4-2 : The skin irritation and cleaning ease of the ink fixing agent composition according to the content of the coating agent were evaluated by the following test method.

[0177] 1) As shown in Table 8 below, the content of the film-forming agent was changed to prepare a liquid tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition.

[0178] [Table 8]

[0180] 2) Under the conditions of 24.5° C. and 30% humidity, apply 1 drop of the liquid ink fixative composition to the four corners of the skin area of ​​1×2 cm and dry.

[0181] 3) The skin irritation (skin tightness, stinging, redness, etc.) and the ease of cleaning (whether the ink fixative composition is easy to remove from the skin) after drying were evaluated.

[0182] -Irritation evaluation method: -: no abnormality, +: mild stinging / itching / redness, ++: severe stinging / itching / redness, +++: severe stinging / itching / redness.

[0183] - Cleanliness evaluation method: +++: can be removed with warm water, ++: can be removed by rubbing with cleansing foam 30 times, +: can be removed by rubbing with cleansing foam 60 times, -: residue still exists after rubbing with cleansing foam 100 times.

[0184] As shown in Table 9 below, as the content of the coating agent in the liquid tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition increases, the skin irritation of the liquid tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition increases, and cleaning becomes difficult.

[0185] [Table 9]

[0186] raw material Liquid phase 2-1 Liquid phase 2-2 Liquid phase 2-3 Liquid phase 2-4 Liquid phase 2-5 Skin irritation + ++ ++ +++ +++ Ease of cleaning +++ ++ + - -

[0187] Experimental Example 4-3 The skin irritation and ease of cleaning of the solid tattoo printing ink fixative composition were evaluated by the following experimental methods.

[0188] 1) Under the conditions of 24.5°C and 30% humidity, apply the solid ink fixative composition to the four corners of the skin area of ​​1x2 cm.

[0189] 2) Skin irritation (skin tightness, stinging, redness, etc.) and ease of cleaning (whether the ink fixative composition is easy to remove from the skin) were evaluated.

[0190] -Irritation evaluation method: -: no abnormality, +: mild stinging / itching / redness, ++: severe stinging / itching / redness, +++: severe stinging / itching / redness.

[0191] - Cleanliness evaluation method: +++: can be removed with warm water, ++: can be removed by rubbing with cleansing foam 30 times, +: can be removed by rubbing with cleansing foam 60 times, -: residue still exists after rubbing with cleansing foam 100 times.

[0192] From the following Table 10, it is confirmed that the solid ink fixing agent composition has no skin irritation and is also easy to clean (stick type: a formulation in which sodium stearate is used as a water phase hardness forming agent for moisture solidification, powder type: a formulation in which liquid-absorbing silica is crushed and homogenized).

[0193] [Table 10]

[0194] Solid phase 1 (powder type) Solid phase 2 (rod type) Skin irritation - - Ease of cleaning +++ +++

[0195] As described above, the solid-phase ink fixing agent composition is fixed immediately after application, and does not cause irritation to the skin because no additional components such as ethanol or a film-forming agent are added. In addition, the solid-phase ink fixing agent composition is easier to clean than the liquid-phase ink fixing agent composition, and the user can use it conveniently.

[0196] Experimental Example 5: Confirmation of the skin surface properties of a solid-phase tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition compared with a liquid-phase composition Homogenization effect

[0197] The homogenization effect of the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition was evaluated by the following experimental method.

[0198] 1) The roughness (Ra) of the artificial skin surface was measured 5 times using the ANTERA 3D instrument and the average value was obtained. The unit of roughness is arbitrary unit.

[0199] 2) Liquid and solid tattoo printing ink fixative compositions were respectively applied on artificial skin, and the roughness was measured (liquid phase 1-3 was used for the liquid ink fixative composition, and powder type and stick type were used for the solid ink fixative composition).

[0200] 3) The skin surface uniformization effect of the ink fixative compositions was compared by comparing the roughness values.

[0201] Figure 7 The average surface height of the entire skin image is set to 0, and the surface heights between +0.05 mm (red) and -0.05 mm (purple) are represented by colors according to the scale bar. The more red and purple areas there are, the greater the difference in surface height according to the position, which indicates greater roughness.

[0202] from Figure 7From the skin images, it was confirmed that the ink fixative composition can make the skin uniform when applied compared to when not applied, regardless of the state of the ink fixative composition. When the liquid ink fixative composition was compared with the solid ink fixative composition, it was confirmed that the solid ink fixative composition can make the skin more uniform when applied compared to the liquid ink fixative composition.

[0203] Figure 1 This is a graph showing the roughness values ​​of the artificial skin surface according to the type of tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition.

[0204] refer to Figure 1 From the above, the roughness value was 29.6 when the ink fixing agent composition was not applied to the skin (unapplied), and 27.4 when the liquid ink fixing agent composition was applied to the skin. When the solid ink fixing agent composition was applied to the skin, the roughness value of the powder type was 24.4, and the roughness value of the stick type was 22.8.

[0205] When the ink fixing agent composition is applied, the roughness value of the skin is smaller than when the ink fixing agent composition is not applied, and when the solid phase ink fixing agent composition is applied, the skin roughness value is smaller than when the liquid phase ink fixing agent composition is applied. The smaller the roughness value, the more uniform the skin surface is, so regardless of the state of the ink fixing agent composition, the ink fixing agent composition can make the skin uniform when applied compared to when it is not applied. In addition, when comparing the liquid phase ink fixing agent composition and the solid phase ink fixing agent composition, the solid phase ink fixing agent composition can make the skin uniform compared to the liquid phase ink fixing agent composition.

[0206] Experimental Example 6-1: Solidification Suppression Performance of Ink Composition According to Type and Content of Moisturizing Agent

[0207] The state of the ink composition after drying was confirmed according to the type and content of the moisturizing agent contained in the tattoo printing ink composition.

[0208] The ink composition includes 5 wt% of a colorant (yellow No. 4, manufacturer: BOLAK), includes a moisturizer as shown in Table 11 below, and the remaining content except the moisturizer is filled with pure water (to 100 wt%). Each ink composition is divided into a certain amount, placed in a high temperature chamber at 50°C overnight, and the state of each ink composition is observed.

[0209] Evaluation method of solidification inhibition: ○: completely liquid phase, △: partially inhibited solidification, X: completely solid phase.

[0210] As shown in Table 11 and Figure 8 As shown, it was confirmed that the ink composition solidified even if it contained 25 weight % or more of DPG (dipropylene glycol) and 1,3-BG (1,3-butanediol), but if it contained 15 weight % of PEG-8 or 10 weight % or more of glycerol, the solidification of the ink composition was suppressed, and if it contained 20 weight % or more of PEG-8 or 15 weight % or more of glycerol, the solidification of the ink composition did not occur at all.

[0211] [Table 11]

[0212]

[0213] Specifically, in Figure 8 , an ink composition containing 25% of a moisturizing agent (Moisturizing Agent 25%), an ink composition containing PEG-8 (PEG-8) according to the content of the moisturizing agent, and an ink composition containing glycerin (Glycerin) according to the content of the moisturizing agent are described.

[0214] According to Table 11 and Figure 8 The tattoo printing ink composition of one embodiment of the present invention preferably contains 10 to 40 wt %, or 15 to 30 wt % of a moisturizer relative to the total weight % of the ink composition, and more preferably, may contain 15 to 40 wt %, or 15 to 30 wt % of PEG-8; or 10 to 40 wt %, or 10 to 30 wt % of glycerol.

[0215] Experimental Example 6-2: Solidification inhibition of ink composition according to the content of humectant mixed with PEG-8 and glycerol able

[0216] The ink composition includes 5 wt% of a colorant (Yellow No. 4, manufacturer: BOLAK), and as a humectant, PEG-8 and glycerin are mixed and used as shown in Table 12 below. The remaining content except the humectant is filled with purified water (to 100 wt%). Each ink composition is divided into a certain amount and placed in a high temperature chamber at 50°C overnight.

[0217] (overnight), and observed the state of each ink composition.

[0218] Evaluation method of solidification inhibition: ○: completely liquid phase, △: partially inhibited solidification, X: completely solid phase.

[0219] The tattoo printing ink composition of one embodiment of the present invention preferably contains 15 to 40 wt %, or 20 to 30 wt % of a mixed moisturizer of PEG-8 and glycerin, relative to the total weight % of the ink composition.

[0220] [Table 12]

[0221]

[0222] Experimental Example 7: Evaluation of the impregnation of ink composition into ink storage sponge according to the type of surfactant

[0223] On the other hand, the ink composition is generally stored in an ink cartridge, and a sponge for the purpose of ink retention is provided in the ink cartridge. At this time, the sponge is impregnated with ink to prevent the ink from leaking from the ink cartridge to the outside, and then the ink is properly supplied to the nozzle during printing. The sponge impregnated with ink can be mainly prepared from polyurethane, and the polyurethane foam can have excellent ink retention due to the porous structure with uniform porosity.

[0224] When the impregnation property of the ink composition into the sponge is low, there is a problem that it takes a long time to fill the ink cartridge or the sponge with the ink composition. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is necessary to improve the impregnation property of the ink composition.

[0225] For stable and continuous discharge of the ink composition, the ink composition should be well impregnated in the sponge, and no bubbles should be generated in the ink composition. In order to improve the sponge impregnation of the ink composition and reduce the amount of bubble generation, the ink composition preferably contains a surfactant. Next, the sponge impregnation of the ink composition was confirmed according to the type of surfactant.

[0226] As shown in Table 13 below, sponge impregnation was performed by dropping 5 μl of each surfactant onto a polyurethane sponge (HP62 empty (3UB14A) internal sponge) using a micro pipette, and then evaluating the time taken for each surfactant to be absorbed (impregnation: ◎ = immediate absorption, ○ = absorption within 10 minutes, △ = absorption within 1 hour, X = no absorption, HLB: Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance).

[0227] It was confirmed that polyglyceryl-4 caprate and PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate among the surfactants were rapidly absorbed by the sponge and exhibited excellent impregnation properties.

[0228] [Table 13]

[0229]

[0230] The ink composition may include the components shown in Table 14 below, and may include PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and polyglyceryl-4 caprate as surfactants. When the ink composition includes PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and polyglyceryl-4 caprate as surfactants, excellent impregnation properties are confirmed. The ink composition of the present invention preferably includes 0.001 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight of PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate or polyglyceryl-4 caprate relative to the total content of the ink composition.

[0233] Experimental Example 8: Evaluation of the bubble generation suppression performance of the ink composition according to the type and content of the defoaming agent

[0234] On the other hand, since bubbles (air) are dispersed in the ink composition, in order to eliminate the bubbles, it is preferred to prevent the generation of bubbles or include a defoaming agent (deaerator) that destroys the bubbles in the ink composition. If the defoaming agent is included, the generation of bubbles in the ink composition is suppressed and the discharge stability of the ink composition is improved.

[0235] In addition, the defoamer contained in the ink composition preferably has selective compatibility (miscible). This is because, in the case where the defoamer has excellent compatibility with the ink composition, the defoamer does not move to the bubble film, but mixes with the ink composition, so the defoaming effect is weakened, and in the case where the compatibility is not excellent, the defoamer may cause haze in the ink composition and may cause poor printing of the ink composition. Therefore, the defoamer contained in the ink composition should have appropriate compatibility with the ink composition.

[0236] Generally speaking, particulate silicone antifoamers used in cosmetics may clog nozzles when used in ink compositions, and are not very compatible with tattoo ink compositions, so particulate silicone antifoamers are not suitable for tattoo ink compositions. In addition, silicone has recently been proposed to be a component that is not suitable for use due to its danger to human body and environmental pollution.

[0237] Furthermore, an ethanol-based defoaming agent is mainly used as a defoaming agent for cosmetics. However, since the ethanol component is volatile, it may cause nozzle clogging when included in an ink composition, and is therefore an unsuitable component for use.

[0238] Next, the amount of bubbles generated when the ink composition containing each defoaming agent was shaken was confirmed according to the type and content of the defoaming agent. From the following Table 15, it was confirmed that the amount of bubbles generated was reduced when glycerol polyether-26 (polyethylene glycol ether composed of 26 mol of ethylene oxide and glycerol) was included compared with the ink composition not containing glycerol polyether-26 (ink composition 3).

[0241] The ink composition of one embodiment of the present invention may include a defoaming agent to suppress the generation of bubbles and quickly eliminate the generated bubbles. The ink composition of the present invention preferably includes 0.001 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight of the defoaming agent relative to the total content of the ink composition.

[0242] Experimental Example 9: Evaluation of Bubble Removal Performance of Ink Compositions Based on Plant-derived Oil

[0243] Next, when a plant-derived oil (hydrogenated ethylhexyl olive oil and hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiable matter, viscosity: 20 cs (spindle LV1, rotation speed 60 rpm, temperature 20±0.2°C), surface tension: 31.5 dyne / cm) was added to the ink composition as a defoaming agent, the extent of bubbles generated when the ink composition containing each surfactant was shaken and the extent to which the above bubbles were removed over time were confirmed.

[0244] [Table 16]

[0245]

[0246] The plant-derived oil may have a defoaming effect similar to that of silicone (polydimethylsiloxane viscosity: 100 cs (spindle LV1, rotation speed 60 rpm, temperature 20±0.2° C.), surface tension: 21.5 dyne / cm), and has a surface tension of 50 dyne / cm or less.

[0247] The ink composition of the present invention may include a plant-derived oil as a defoaming agent, preferably any one of hydrogenated ethylhexyl olive oil and hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiable matter. The plant-derived oil preferably includes 0.1 to 10 wt %, preferably 0.1 to 5 wt %, and most preferably 0.1 to 2 wt % relative to the total content of the ink composition.

[0248] Experimental Example 10: Evaluation of image clarity based on the type and content of surfactant

[0249] The ink composition is discharged from the nozzle outlet in the form of droplets. The ink composition is transferred to a specific location in the form of droplets and is printed at the corresponding location. In the case where the nozzle moves at high speed while discharging the ink composition, if the droplet formation time is prolonged and the droplet length increases, the ink droplets cannot be printed only at a specific location when the nozzle moves, and the tail of the droplet may also affect the printing at other locations. In the case where the ink droplets affect the printing at other locations, the clarity of the ink composition may be reduced, and therefore the clarity may be affected by the time when the ink droplets are formed at the nozzle outlet, the droplet length, etc.

[0250] On the other hand, when ink droplets are discharged to the outside, the greater the surface tension of the ink, the smaller the surface area of ​​the ink in contact with the air, thereby showing a tendency to reduce surface energy, and the ink can form a droplet in a short time. Therefore, the time for the tail of the droplet of the ink with high surface tension to separate from the nozzle (breakup time) is short, and the distance from the nozzle end to the front end of the droplet (breakup distance) is short. Therefore, in the case of high surface tension of the ink, the droplet volume is small, the droplet speed is slow, and the number of satellites may be small.

[0251] In the case of high-speed printing of ink, the separation time and separation distance are preferably short, and the volume of the droplets is also preferably adjusted appropriately, so in order to maintain stable droplet discharge when printing the ink, the surface tension of the ink is preferably maintained at an appropriate value.

[0252] In particular, since water-based ink contains a large amount of water with high surface tension, it is very important to properly control the surface tension of the water-based ink. To control the surface tension, a surface tension modifier, a surfactant, etc. can be used. The surfactant added to the ink composition can perform a regulating function by properly adjusting the surface tension, so that the ink composition has excellent printing quality when printed.

[0253] Next, the image clarity was evaluated according to the type and content of the surfactant. For the evaluation, ink compositions 11 to 13 shown in Table 17 were prepared.

[0254] [Table 17]

[0255]

[0256] exist Fig. 9In the test, it was confirmed whether the three colors of ink were clearly printed when the ink compositions 11 to 13 were printed on paper under the same conditions. HP HI LX ink is a finished ink cartridge using an ink cartridge container of the same specification sold by HP, and is used for comparison of printing quality with the ink composition of the present invention. Fig. 9 From the above, it was confirmed that ink compositions 12 and 13 had the same clarity as the HP HI LX ink.

[0257] Experimental Example 11: Evaluation of image clarity based on surfactant and defoaming agent

[0258] For evaluation, ink compositions 14 to 18 shown in Table 18 below were prepared.

[0259] [Table 18]

[0260]

[0261] exist Fig.10 In the present invention, it was confirmed whether the three colors of ink were clearly printed when ink compositions 14 to 18 were printed on paper under the same conditions. It was confirmed that ink compositions 16, 17, and 18 had the same clarity as HP HI LX ink, and ink composition 17 was clearer than ink composition 16.

[0262] Experimental Example 12: Performance Evaluation of Fixing Agent Composition

[0263] In the case of direct or indirect printing on the skin, the ink composition has difficulty penetrating the skin due to the structural characteristics of the skin. In addition, water-based inks used for skin printing have the characteristics of low penetration effect, long drying time, and the printed substrate may dissolve when in contact with water. Therefore, the image applied by the inkjet printing method may have a tendency to smudge or blur when rubbed against the outside, or when exposed to a considerable amount of aqueous medium (for example, if the printed article is exposed to water or comes into contact with water by other means), the printed image may dissolve and disappear.

[0264] In order to enhance the water resistance and durability of ink on the skin, water-soluble polymers can be added as adhesive components when manufacturing ink. If the nozzles of the printing device are exposed to the outside for a long time, there may be durability problems such as the residual ink on the nozzles drying up, the nozzles becoming clogged, or the output prints falling off the surface of the printing medium.

[0265] When aqueous ink is used on the skin, in order to alleviate the blurring of the ink composition on the skin, improve durability, and enhance water resistance, a post-treatment agent (fixing agent, topcoat) may be additionally applied after printing.

[0266] The fixative composition is insoluble in aqueous ink, and is applied (spreading) on ​​the skin of the printed ink composition and fixed for a certain period of time. For the sake of usability, it preferably has a hardness and viscosity above a certain level to avoid flowing, and preferably forms a film of uniform thickness on the skin, and preferably has no volatility.

[0267] In addition, the fixing agent composition is preferably colorless (transparent) so as not to affect the clarity of the printed image of the printing ink composition. In addition, it is preferred that the ink has excellent fixing power when applied to the skin, can be applied by a simple method, and thus has convenience of use, excellent water resistance, and does not cause skin irritation, etc.

[0268] For evaluation, fixer compositions as shown in Table 19 below were prepared.

[0269] [Table 19]

[0270] Ingredient name Content (weight %) Petrolatum 65-95 Synthetic wax 0.1-10 Ozokerite 0.1-10 Microcrystalline wax 5-20 1,2-Hexanediol 0.1-5

[0271] A fixing agent composition having a content ratio in Table 19 was applied to the upper surface of the ink composition, and the corresponding portion was exposed to running water for 30 seconds. The residual printed matter was shown in FIG. Fig.11 middle.

[0272] The same ink as that used in Experimental Example 1 was used as the ink, and Example No. 1 in Table 5 was used as the ink fixing agent composition before image printing. Fig.11 From the above, in the case where the fixing agent was applied and then exposed to water (fixing agent applied), the print had superior clarity compared to the case where the fixing agent was not applied (fixing agent not applied).

[0273] The fixative composition according to one aspect of the present invention can be formulated into a solid, semisolid, gel, or liquid preparation, for example, a gel, water-soluble jelly, cream, lotion, suspension, solution, foam, powder, slurry, ointment, solution, oil, paste, spray, emulsion, balm, etc. suitable for topical application, and can be used without limitation as long as it is a dosage form that can be used as a fixative composition.

[0274] However, the fixative composition should not flow from the skin to impart fixation to the ink composition, and therefore is preferably in a semisolid dosage form. In this specification, "semisolid" may refer to a substance having the consistency of a cream, ointment, or paste at room temperature (15 to 25°C), and may refer to a substance with no fluidity or low fluidity.

[0275] As a color fixative composition, it is preferred to use a balm type or a jelly type. The balm type is a type having a texture of a semisolid solidified by mixing essential oils, glycerin, wax, etc., and the jelly type is a type in which a colloidal solution contains a dispersant and solidified into a semisolid state.

[0276] The color fixer composition is preferably an oil in a semi-solid state that is insoluble in water-based ink and transparent at room temperature. In particular, an oily, water-insoluble semi-solid (semi-solid or paste) or solid color fixer composition can directly produce a water-resistant effect without requiring additional drying time. As a water-insoluble semi-solid or solid color fixer composition, hydrocarbon oil or wax is preferred.

[0277] The color fixer composition may include hydrocarbon oils, and may further include hydrocarbon waxes. When hydrocarbon waxes are added, water resistance can be kept excellent, and spreadability and usability can be improved. The color fixer composition may preferably include petrolatum, synthetic wax, ozokerite or microcrystalline wax. When the color fixer composition includes hydrocarbon waxes, i.e., synthetic wax, ozokerite and microcrystalline wax, i) the blurring of the ink composition after printing is improved (improved fixing power), ii) the high temperature stability of the color fixer composition is improved, and iii) the feel of use of the color fixer composition is improved (the oily feeling and sticky feeling when applied to the skin are reduced).

[0278] In particular, as a constituent, petrolatum is obtained from high-boiling hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons that are usually liquid at room temperature. It is a soft, oily, and semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, and has the characteristics of being insoluble in water, alcohol, and glycerin. It is a hydrocarbon (C n H 2n+2 ). Petrolatum has a colorless or light yellow semi-solid form and can be used as a component of a fixative composition. Due to the hydrophobicity (i.e., water repellency) and water insolubility of petrolatum and the physical properties of existing in a semi-solid form at room temperature, it has excellent water resistance to the printed surface when applied alone.

[0279] The fixer composition of the present invention preferably contains 65 to 100 wt %, more preferably 65 to 95 wt % of hydrocarbon series oil or wax relative to the weight % of the entire fixer composition.

[0280] As described above, according to an aspect of the present invention, the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition can prevent white turbidity during application and prevent the ink composition from blurring.

[0281] In addition, according to the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition of one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the ink composition from being dispersed (scattered) in the air during the coating process and to improve the skin adhesion of the ink composition.

[0282] In addition, the tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition according to one aspect of the present invention is a solid-phase ink fixing agent composition, which has less skin irritation and is easier to clean than a liquid-phase ink fixing agent composition.

[0283] In addition, the tattoo printing ink composition according to one aspect of the present invention includes a moisturizing agent, which can suppress the solidification of the ink composition, reduce nozzle clogging of the ink composition, and achieve stable ejection of the ink composition.

[0284] In addition, the tattoo printing ink composition according to one aspect of the present invention can improve the sponge impregnation of the ink composition by including a surfactant, and can achieve stable ejection of the ink composition.

[0285] In addition, the tattoo printing ink composition according to one aspect of the present invention can easily remove bubbles formed in the ink composition by including a defoaming agent, and can achieve stable ejection of the ink composition.

[0286] In addition, the tattoo printing ink composition according to one aspect of the present invention can control the surface tension of the ink composition by including a surfactant or a defoaming agent, and thus the ink composition can provide clear printing quality.

[0287] In addition, the tattoo fixing agent composition according to one aspect of the present invention can have a viscosity that substantially does not flow without external force, and can be applied to the upper surface of the area where the ink composition is applied to block the ink composition from contacting the outside and improve the skin fixing force of the ink composition.

[0288] In addition, the fixer composition for tattoo printing according to one aspect of the present invention can have excellent fixing force, high temperature stability and excellent feeling in use by including hydrocarbon oil or hydrocarbon series wax.

[0289] According to the tattoo printing ink composition of one aspect of the present invention, the tattoo printing ink fixative composition may be applied to the skin before or after printing on the skin.

[0290] Preferably, the tattoo printing ink composition of the present invention preferably uses a fixative or primer before printing on the skin, or uses a fixative or topcoat after printing on the skin, and the fixative can be used before the ink is printed on the skin, or the fixative can be used after printing on the skin. Conventional fixatives (primers) or fixatives (topcoats) known in the art can also be used before and after the ink is printed on the skin.

[0291] A tattoo printing ink fixing agent composition used before the ink composition is printed on the skin and a fixative composition used after the tattoo printing ink composition is printed on the skin may be provided.

[0292] In addition, the present invention includes an ink composition for tattoo printing, a fixing agent composition used before the ink composition is printed on the skin, and a fixative composition used after the ink composition is printed on the skin, and can provide a tattoo printing kit including any one or more of the ink composition, the fixing agent composition, and the fixative composition.
